guys
I just like to know what commands I have to type in to de-install apps.
I like to do it locally via my CONNECT BOT app which I read is like a command interface I am used to under Windows

I'm having issues connecting the Microsoft Bluetooth keyboard to my gTab, and I've been trying to use Bluetooth Keyboard Easy Connect, but that can't seem to install Bluez Utils, because I can't find them anywhere on the device. It looks like the device is mounted R/O and I have no idea how to mount it otherwise.
But back to my point, I've seen tutorials for doing this manually, and all involve typing commands at a command line, some using adb. Is there a comprehensive tutorial for typing commands in these examples that people give?
Also, for what it's worth, I have the dev kit installed, and I try doing adb, but it tells me device not found, so apparently I'm not connecting it correctly and I can't find any instructions on how to do such a thing.
I'm not able to find anything on this search-wise (well, there is one post in XPERIA X8 General, but that involved removing a battery, which you can't do on the gTab).
Any help would be appreciated!
There are several ways to go. If you use Windows you need drivers and if you use Linux you'll need to make an entry in your udev rules so the tablet is recognized as a device. If you search the overall gtab forums for "adb windows" or "adb linux" you should be ok there.
So ADB is one way to get a shell. You can also download something from the market like Android Terminal or Better Terminal. Of course, those are easier to use if you have an external keyboard ;-) You can get Full Keyboard or other keyboards that have all the exotic keys.
The 3rd way to do it is to run sshdroid or another ssh server and then use ssh or putty to connect to your device remotely.
Any one of these methods will give you a shell prompt either on the screen or back at your PC.
Alright so I am playing around with my Logitech Revue, and I can connect via ADB is there a way I can use this to DL the files I need to compile the platform?
Also more generally without the use of applications like diff and grep what is the best way to analyze what files are necessary to pull down for a port.
So basically here are my skills...
I can build a platform using the source found at s.android.com
I can adb into my Logitech Revue
so how do I create a system image and flash my existing revue adding an additional system application (call it SampleApplication)
Thanks guys
P.S. If you want to connect...
1.) go into you Google TV and set your remote debugger to be the IP of the computer running adb.
2.) adb connect <IP of GOOGLE TV>
3.) adb shell
4.) profit???????
All,
Based on some work I was already doing on another app of mine (Juice for Roku), I threw together an basic web server to run on the Nexus Q that can be used to launch packages and intents. You can download it here: http://greggreno.com/test/JuiceReceiver.apk
Steps to install:
Make sure the Nexus Q is recognized by ADB using the ADB DEVICES command. If not, look at the Running Apps thread that shows how to get the USB driver to recognize the Q.
Download the apk file (above)
Use this command to install it: "adb install JuiceReceiver.apk"
Use this command to run it: "adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.jigawattlabs.juicereceiver/.MainActivity"
The background web server service SHOULD auto start when the Q boots, so you shouldn't have to manually start the service again, unless it crashes.
When the app launches, it will show the URL of the web server running on the Q. Just go to that link and it will show you the list of currently supported commands. Since I don't have a keyboard or mouse hooked up, I auto close the front end app after 30 seconds to get it out of the way.
The /showimage and /playvideo commands don't seem to work yet because there doesn't seem to be any default player for them. The /playmusic command seems to work (you see an activity playing it), but I can't hear anything.
Please share any suggestions for how I can get the media playback working and any other commands you need. Consider this a buggy alpha release.
works for me
Nice! Didn't try too many things, but was able to launch a couple of the built in apps (settings, downloads).

Juice Receiver is the way I call the Launcher on my Nexus Q, since I could not assign any key, or combination key to open the launcher I use the browser to do it. Thank you very much, other wise I'll be stucked at the adb commands for that!
What's a good approach for getting a remote shell from Windows? adb shell just doesn't cut it, I tried it from the Win command prompt and from cygwin's mintty and there are all sorts of terminal problems, cursor keys not working, escape sequences not working, vi is a mess, etc.
So what's the proper way to set up a remote shell so that you get close to the Linux experience while connecting from Windows? E.g. sshd and connect via putty, busybox installed, etc. Any recommendations please before I go and try a bunch of things and make a mess? Thanks!

SSH is a good alternative. You can then connect via PUTTY from your Windos machine. There's a small ssh server for embedded system called "dropbear", alto not fully functional (no scp/sftp support), it's easier to install than openssh. If you don't want to install it in the Android OS native, you can always download an app including it, there's a few of them.
Myself I'm using openssh, using my fully GNU Debian environment (see my signature). This solution also enables me to use X-windows for remote access to my Android. But I guess this is overkill for you. But still, very cool.

Thanks! Your link Run a complete GNU/Linux distribution on your Android is pretty cool!
I tried DropBear SSH Server II and SSHDroid and they seem to work well enough for what I need. Next step is to get sftp working which apparently it is possible with DropBear SSH Server II with a bit of manual work.
I was wondering if we can manage commands like
adb logcat > somefile.txt
adb fastboot flash some.IMG
Like commands which we use during custom ROM installation or while testing it by connecting to pc.
Is there any way to manage these commands inside an android terminal emulator app.
I tried to use those command directly after switching to root access but it didn't work out for me.
Does anyone knows if it is possible and if it is what is the correct way to do it.
I am not searching for app just a way to do it through your phone.
